PRESERVING THE ENVIRONMENTRecently more and more attention has been focused on the problem of preserving the environment. The fact that a Government Ministry called the Department of the Environment has been created shows how important the issue is considered to be.Over the past 30 years or so the quality of many people’s living has deteriorated in some respects because of technological progress. Those people living near are constantly assailed by the noise of increasingly larger and more powerful jet aircraft taking off and landing. We have ugly buildings having sprung up in towns and cities. Worst still much of our building efforts has been channeled into the construction of more large office blocks at the expense of much needed housing for the growing urban population.It is the motor car that has been responsible for many changes in the environment. Having brought mobility to millions of people, it led to constructing of more and more noisy and dangerous roads and polluting the atmosphere with exhaust fumes.Towns and cities having become larger and uglier and more densely populated, the rural areas have lost most of their population owing to the need for fewer workers in agriculture. The countryside was also affected by the large-scale use of insecticides. For one thing killing of insects has resulted in a loss of balance in the ecology. Many people are afraid that fruit and vegetables sprayed with chemicals may have some poisonous effect upon the people eating them.

Recently certain counter measures against the destruction have been introduced. Rivers which use to be fouled up with industrial chemical waste are now being cleaned, and fish can be caught again.
